opacity of figcaption is mysteriously changing - javascript

I am trying to use jquery.caption (https://github.com/louisbros/jquery.caption). I want the caption to be in a black rectangle with white text. When I mouse over my images, some of them display the caption correctly, but others don't display it at all, and others display it very lightly and hard to see. As I mouse over the images, some that were displaying it stop displaying it. If I look at the HTML I can see that the opacity changes and that is why the caption are sometimes not visible. When I first bring up the page, most of the elements have opacity=1, but others will have a very small number like 0.00301952217705548. As I mouse around, elements that started with opacity=1 will change to a very small number.
Here is my code that creates the elements:
$image_div = $('<div />')
.addClass('gImage-row')
.appendTo($preview);
$image_div.append($('<a />')
.addClass('no-highlight')
.attr('href', "{{ IMAGE_DIR }}"+image.image.replace(/thumbnail/,'jpg'))
.attr('rel', "superbox[image]")
.append($('<img />')
.addClass('gImage')
.attr('alt', 'some text')
.attr('src', "{{ IMAGE_DIR }}"+image.image)
.attr('onerror', "noimage(event)")));
This is in a loop and it creates 30-40 images.
In my window.onload function I do this:
$('.gImage-row img').caption();
Here is my CSS:
.figure{
position:relative;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.figcaption{
position:absolute;
left:0;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:20px;
background-color: black;
foreground-color: white;
opacity:1.0;
}
a:hover.no-highlight {
background: transparent;
}
.gImage-row {
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
.gImage {
width: 150px;
height: 100px;
margin-right: 1px;
background-color: transparent;
}
.label {
float: left;
}
I cannot figure out what is making the opacity change or how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas?

So I think I figured out what is going on here. The code in jquery.caption was doing this:
$(this).bind('mouseenter.caption mouseleave.caption', function(){
$(this).data('caption').figcaption.stop().fadeToggle();
});
fadeToggle works by changing the opacity. Because I had so many images close together, when the user moused around there were a lot of mouseenter and mouseleave events, and each time one occurred it would call stop on the existing fadeToggle. This would leave the opacity at whatever it was at at the moment. I changed this to:
$(this).bind('mouseenter.caption mouseleave.caption', function(){
if ($(this).data('caption').figcaption.css('display') == 'none') {
$(this).data('caption').figcaption.show();
}
else {
$(this).data('caption').figcaption.hide();
}
});
And now it's working perfectly.

highlighting characters in text depending on position of page

I have a text on my website that scrolls horizontal through the page. I’m trying to get around 8 characters highlighted in black, while the rest is grey. But those characters are meant to vary as you scroll though, the highlighted bit should remain in place.
In case this doesn’t make any sense, if grey was an x, it should look something like this:
xxxxx xpsum dolox xxx xxxx
xxxx xxsum dolox sxx xxxx
xxx xxxum dolox six xxxx x
xx xxxxm dolox sit xxxx xx
I’m trying to get this done in jQuery, but I can’t get it to work. I also like to say that I’m not at all an expert in webdesign, so I don’t know what I’m doing. Anyway, I’ve tried two different approaches, one is to say “change colour of text when going over an underlying div”. The other approach is to change the colour of the text depending on the scrolling position, but the problem here is that it takes the scrolling position of the whole div, instead of a fixed position on the page. Both don’t work at the moment, examples are here:
jsfiddle 9p29tz2f
jsfiddle 9p29tz2f/1
If anyone has any ideas how to approach this, or needs some more clarification, please let me know. Many thanks!
Clone the text and set it as a child of the overlay box then scroll them together:
$(function(){
var $bodytext = $('#bodytext'),
$clone = $bodytext.clone();
//copy the text and append it to #black:
$clone.attr("id","clone").prependTo("#black");
//scroll #clone with #bodytext:
$bodytext.scroll(function(){
$clone.scrollLeft($bodytext.scrollLeft());
});
});
http://jsfiddle.net/9p29tz2f/2/
I've taken Teemu's solution and modified it a bit: http://jsfiddle.net/9af91wcL/2/
The important bits: The code moves a white DIV (#grey-overlay) on top of the text and makes it transparent. By adding black and white pixels, you get grey. The grey level is determined by the alpha channel (0.7 in the rgba() function).
You need to assign a height or it will look odd. I use 1.5em to make sure it doesn't overlap with the scroll bar of the #bodytext div.
Also make sure that the top/left position of both div's is the same.
In your real code, you can make the horizontal scrollbar disappear and scroll with JavaScript.
HTML
<div id="grey-overlay"></div>
<div id="bodytext">text...</div>
CSS
body {
background: #ffffff;
color: #000000;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 200%;
}
#bodytext {
top: 15%;
width:200px;
height: 2em;
padding: 0;
position:absolute;
overflow-x:scroll;
overflow-y:hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
}
#grey-overlay {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
width:40px;
height: 1.5em;
top:15%;
position:fixed;
z-index: 10;
}
You need to show the same content within #black as in #bodytext, and synchronize its position relative to #bodytext scrolling. This can be achieved by using an extra wrapper around #black. Something like this:
CSS:
#cover {
top: 15%;
height:50%;
width: 120px;
padding: 0;
position:fixed;
overflow-x: hidden;
background-color: #D8D8D8;
}
#black {
color: #000000;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0px;
left: 0px;
position:absolute;
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 10;
}
#bodytext {
top: 15%;
width:100%;
height:85%;
padding: 0;
position:absolute;
overflow-x:scroll;
white-space: nowrap;
color: #D8D8D8;
}
HTML:
<div id="cover">
<div id="black"></div>
</div>
JS:
$(document).ready(function () {
var black = $('#black'),
btext = $('#bodytext');
black.text(btext.text()); // Clone the content
btext.scroll(function () {
var pos = btext.scrollLeft();
black.css('left', -pos + 'px'); // Set the position to match #bodytext
});
});

Notice, that if you need some left margin, it has also to be "calculated in" to pos.

How can i make a div that slides up to reveal a page without completely hiding it?

I have a div that I want to be able to click and shrink to the top ~10% of a page. I have code similar to this where one DIV should cover everything, then the second DIV would have the content for the page:
<div id="cover">Optimized the javascript so that all code is based on jQuery.
</div>
<div id="content" style="height:300px;" class="hide" >Optimized the javascript so that all code is based on jQuery.
</div>
This is a partial example of what I want to do:
JSFiddle
The problem with this is that the slideUp() function seems to completely hide the "cover" DIV rather than shrink it to part of it's size. The other problem I have is that the background doesn't scale with the DIV. I would like the background image to shrink to a reasonable size in the cover DIV. Is this possible? In my example JSFiddle, the white space should have the "cover" DIV, and a smaller version of the background image.
jQuery slideToggle(); is actually supposed to hide or show an element completely due the fact that you're not supposed to hide or show it with the element you're hiding / showing.
So to solve your problem I've created an extra div that will hide or show the element giving it the appearence of only partly hiding the element. You can find the fiddle here:
JSFiddle
I've also scaled the background for you.
I would use jquery's animate() for this and replace background-attachment:fixed with background-size: 8em;
Tweak this part depending on the size of your divs { "height": "30%","background-size": "6em" }
$(function () {
$('#cover').click(function () {
$(this).animate({ "height": "30%","background-size": "6em" }, 400, function () {
$(this).next().show();
});
});
});
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
html {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
.hide {
display: none
}
.show {
}
#cover {
background-color: black;
width:100%;
height: 100%;
top:0;
left:0;
position:fixed;
background-size: 8em;
margin: 0 auto;
background-image: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/JVX13.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
#content {
background-color: #CCCCFF;
padding: 5px 10px;
width:100%;
height: 100%;
top:30%;
left:0;
position:absolute;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="cover">Optimized the javascript so that all code is based on jQuery.</div>
<div id="content" class="hide">Optimized the javascript so that all code is based on jQuery.</div>

Click one div and goes to another on responsive website

Hi I am trying to get my website to be responsive. I have two different divs one on the left and one on the right on my website like so...
http://jsfiddle.net/1fupx7aa/2/
HTML
<div class="menu"></div>
<div class="view"></div>
CSS
.menu {
width:100px;
height:100px;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
.view {
width: 200px;
height:300px;
background-color: yellow;
float:left;
}
On the website, when I click on the red div, content appears on the yellow div.
I am now trying to make my website responsive, so what I would like to do is on a smaller screen, the yellow div I set to display:none; and the red div width:100% like so...
http://jsfiddle.net/3jmbxumb/
HTML
<div class="menu"></div>
<div class="view"></div>
CSS
#media (max-width: 600px) {
.menu {
width:100%;
}
.view {
display: none;
}
}
Now what I need to do is, when I click on the red div, I would like the content in the yellow div to appear where I would create a back button that would lead back to the red div.
Is this possible?
I have been looking at the bootstrap carousel option, but I don't think this works for my website.
What would I call this and is this possible? Might there be a way where if I click on the red div on a mobile device the red div becomes hidden and only the yellow div appears?
You can do this using jQuery and having a specific hidden class for small screens - so you don't have to check for screen width in js.
Javascript:
var showContent = function () {
var $yellow = $('#yellow-view'),
$this = $(this);
//Hide red and show yellow
$yellow.removeClass('hidden-small');
$this.addClass('hidden-small');
//Add content to yellow view
$yellow.html('<strong>my content</strong>');
};
$('#menu').click(showContent);
CSS:
.menu {
width:100px;
height:100px;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
.view {
width: 200px;
height:300px;
background-color: yellow;
float:left;
}
#media (max-width: 600px) {
.menu {
width:100%;
}
.hidden-small {
display: none;
}
}
https://jsfiddle.net/s9wkbL9m/2/
You might want to use jQuery to do this.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.menu').click(function(){
$('.view').fadeIn();
});
});
Here is the updated Fiddle.
A quick JS writeup that would work for your scenario
$(function(){
$(".back_btn").hide();
if($(window).width() <= 600){
$(".view").hide();
}
$(".menu").click(function(){
if($(window).width() <= 600){
$(".menu").hide();
$(".view").show().text("Some text");
$(".back_btn").show();
}
else {
$(".view").text("Some text");
}
});
$(".back_btn").click(function(){
$(".view").hide();
$(".menu").show();
});
});

How to make a partially hidden div?

I want to make a half shown div in a page, like a footer. When I click it I want it to slide up. The div will contain information on it.
I achieved this somehow, but my problem is that the div does not get really hidden it just changes the position.
You can find the demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/8ZFMJ/394/
var clicked=false;
$(".two").on('click', function(){
if(clicked)
{
clicked=false;
$(".two").css({"bottom": -430});
}
else
{
clicked=true;
$(".two").css({"bottom": "-200px"});
}
});
I had a similar problem a while ago, in fact I think it was my first stackoverflow question. Unfortunately it got poorly received.
Anyway, the problem is currently that you are just changing the position of the div - that's what .bottom does. I think what you want to do is change the height, see this JSFiddle in which I managed to switch the div between states (no animation yet).
It makes simple use of css's overflow-y: hidden; to hide the div's contents when it is small, and all the JS does is toggle between heights:
if(clicked)
{
$(".two").css("height", 10);
}
else
{
$(".two").css("height", 250);
}
clicked = !clicked;
clicked = !clicked just flips the boolean state of the variable.
Now, to add the animation, we can use jQuery's .animate and produce this beautiful Fiddle
Basically, all we had to do in between is use animate instead of css. Simple, really.
TL;DR
final JSFiddle
.two must be absolute positioned inside .container that must be relative positioned. Then you just change the bottom with a negative value and that will hide the footer.
CSS:
html, body { height: 100%; }
.container {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.two {
position: absolute;
background-color: yellow;
width: 100%;
height:250px;
bottom: -200px;
transition: bottom 1s;
}
jQuery:
var clicked=false;
$(".two").on('click', function(){
if(clicked)
{
clicked=false;
$(".two").css({"bottom": "-200px"});
}
else
{
clicked=true;
$(".two").css({"bottom": 0});
}
});

How to align text in bottom of label

I've got problems to get text in the label to the bottom of the label.
I'm animating a falling text, the label does "seem" to fall as it should, but the text stays on top, it's not following the label downwards. Please check this jsfiddle out, press the button to see the problem. I have tried many different ways without coming up with a working solution.
http://jsfiddle.net/kaze72/jQ6Ua/
.uppgifter
{
vertical-align: text-bottom;
}
Seems not to help!
You can try
.uppgifter
{
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: bottom;
background-color: yellow;
}
jsFiddle
Updated jsFiddle so that .uppgifter's height in animate method matches #spelplan's height.
.uppgifter
{
padding: 580px 0 1px 230px;
}
You could just animate the padding-top:
$("#the_button").click(function () {
$(".uppgifter").animate({
'padding-top':"500px"
}, 4000, "linear", function() {});
});
try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#the_button").click(function () {
$(".uppgifter").animate({
"height":"100px","padding-top":"500px"},
4000, "linear", function() {});
});
});
or just a suggestion, take a look at this :):
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#the_button").click(function () {
$(".uppgifter").animate({
"top":"500px"}, 4000, "linear", function() {});
});
});
combined with
.uppgifter
{
vertical-align: text-bottom;
position:relative;
background-color: yellow;
}
*
{
font-family: cursive;
}
.panel
{
position:relative;
border: 1px solid;
}
#spelplan
{
height: 600px;
}
.uppgifter
{
position:absolute;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
bottom:0;
background-color: yellow;
}
I simply added two transparent divs set with a 90% height that force the text down as the label height changes.
http://jsfiddle.net/jQ6Ua/15/
#div
{
height:90%;
width:200%
}
To vertically align a text in a container, multiple techniques can be used. However, most of them have additional script calculation at runtime (if the height of the text container is changing) which can mess with the business logic.
A hack can be used in your particular situation.
You can add an image container with empty src inside your text container with 100% height and 0 width set by css.
<label id="uppgift" class="uppgifter" style="display:inline-block;"><img scr=""/>Abc</label>
<label id="uppgift2" class="uppgifter" style="display:inline-block;"><img scr=""/>123</label>
//and css
.uppgifter img{
height:100%;
width:0;
}
Example
This way you would not have to write logic for additional added layers.
